Religious Wars through Scientific Revolution

2

The Invasions of Italy

The Italian city-states were attractive to invaders for several reasons:» They were wealthy territories which were a

tempting target for stronger powers» They were quite small and were easy prey

for larger powers.

3

The Empire of Charles V (1519 - 1556)

Charles inherited a huge empire from his father and grandparents which included the HRE, Spain, the Low Countries, and the Italian States.

Conquered much of Italy by 1525 Charles allowed his troops to sack Rome in

1527. 1530: Charles made peace with the Pope

and was given the title “King of Italy.”

4

Weaknesses of Charles’ Empire

Geographically, his empire was so spread out it was difficult to control.

N. German princes were striving for some measure of autonomy and were using religion as a pretext for rebellion.

The reformation had already begun when he became emperor, and this created religious division and wars.

5

The End of Charles’ Reign

1555: The Peace of Augsburg established some measure of religious freedom in the HRE (cuius regio, eius religio)

1556: Charles retired to a monastery 1556: Ferdinand I (his brother) got the

HRE and Philip II (his son) got Spain, Netherlands, Naples, Milan, and the New World colonies.

6

Spain Under Philip II (1556 - 1598)

Philip inherited a nation blessed with great wealth in the form of gold and silver from the New World. He squandered much of it by:» spending huge amounts of resources by

fighting religious wars to try to halt the spread of the Reformation;

» purchasing luxury items from other nations to keep the Spanish nobility happy.

7

The Dutch Revolt

Under the leadership of William of Orange (William the Silent), the Calvinist Dutch provinces (the Netherlands) united with the Catholic Dutch provinces (Belgium) to assert their independence from Spanish control.

The Calvinist provinces resented the Inquisition and all of the provinces resented the payment of taxes to Spain.

8

The Dutch, continued Philip sent the Duke of Alva, whose

actions included the sacking of Antwerp. Following the sacking of Antwerp, the

Catholic provinces left the Dutch alliance and joined with the Spanish.» The Catholic provinces eventually became

Belgium, while the Calvinist ones became the Netherlands.

9

The Spanish Armada (1588)

Great rivalry existed between Spain and England over control of the seas and control of new world wealth.

Relations between the two nations had not been very good for a long time.

Philip decided to attack England in an attempt to restore Catholicism to the nation in 1588.

10

Reasons for the Attack Philip had been married to Mary I (Eng).

After her death, Philip made some overtures to Elizabeth I and she refused to marry him.

Wanted to restore Catholicism to England. Angry that England had aided the Dutch in

their fight against Spain. Resented English power in the new world

and resented the attacks of the English “sea dogs” on Spanish galleons.

11

The Defeat of Spain

The English decisively defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588, thus preventing any Spanish acquisition of England.

This defeat forever weakened Spain and led to its decline in the next century.

12

The Dutch Republic

Secured de facto independence from Spain by the late 1500’s due to weakening of Spanish power.» This was made official in 1648.

Golden Age of the Dutch Republic: early 1600’s due to political stability, economic prosperity, and cultural achievements.

13

The Thirty Years’ War (1618 - 1648)

Forever weakened the HRE and paved the way for French continental supremacy.

Approx. 1/3 of the population died and approx. 1/2 of the wealth of the German states was depleted.» This decimation set the stage for the long-

term fragmentation of central Europe.

14

The Bohemian Phase (1618 - 1625)

Protestant, Frederick V of Bohemia demanded more autonomy for Bohemia from Ferdinand II (HRE)

Defenestration of Prague Rebellion drove the Imperial forces from

Bohemia The Protestant forces were decisively

defeated at the Battle of White Mountain and Frederick was deposed.

15

The Danish Phase (1625 - 1629)

Danish King Christian IV stepped up to lead the Protestants who were nearly wiped out after phase I.

The protestant forces experienced more losses at the hands of Tilly and Wallenstein.

The Edict of Restitution forced protestants to restore to the Catholic church all lands that had been taken from it since 1552. This was a major defeat.

16

The Swedish Phase (1630 - 1635)

Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus and his army landed in Germany, starting phase III of the war.

Cardinal Richelieu of Catholic France supported Gustavus and the Protestant forces in an attempt to control the power of the Hapsburgs.

Many early protestant victories, but Gustavus was killed in battle in 1632.

Ferdinand had Wallenstein assassinated in 1634.

Phase was a costly one for both sides.

17

The French Phase(1635 - 1648)

Sweden was attacked by Denmark in 1635, because Denmark hoped to break the power of the Swedish empire.

France sent troops to help Sweden. Cath. France + Prot. Sweden vs. Cath.

HRE + Prot. Denmark + Cath. Spain 1645: Denmark surrendered 1648: Germans called for a truce.

18

The Treaty of Westphalia (1648)

Renewed the Peace of Augsburg (cuius regio, eius religio).

Officially recognized Calvinism as a legal religion

nullified the Edict of Restitution (whoever owned the land in 1624 got it back)

Recognized the independence of Switzerland and the Netherlands

19

Westphalia, continued

German princes given more sovereignty (they now had the right to raise armies and conclude foreign alliances)

All agreed to settle their religious disputes through negotiation, rather than edict or majority vote.

This treaty permanently weakened and fragmented the HRE.

20

THE FRENCH CIVIL WARS

Although France had only a small minority of Huguenots (approx. 9% in 1560), they had far more power than their numbers, because most protestants were upper middle class persons or members of the nobility.» Many of these Huguenots became Calvinist

as an excuse to take a stand against the power of the Valois family.

21

Francis I and Henry II Both of these kings were concerned about the

growing Protestant minority and actively persecuted the Calvinists.

Unfortunately, Henry II died while his sons were quite young, leaving Catherine de Medici as the queen mother. Catherine had a difficult time dealing with the various political and religious factions in France and her religious policies were disastrous for the nation.

23

More Wars

Religious intolerance culminated in the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre in 1572 when Coligny (Prot. advisor) and several thousand Parisian Protestants were killed.

This again ignited more warfare and led France into the “War of the Three Henry’s.”

24

The War of the Three Henry’s

In this war, England helped the Protestant forces, and Spain helped the Catholics.

King Henry III (Cath.) and Henry of Navarre (Prot.) vs. Henry Guise (Cath.)

Henry III was killed, and Henry of Navarre won a series of military victories which established him as King Henry IV and created a new ruling dynasty in France--the Bourbons.

25

King Henry IV (1589 - 1610)

When he took over, France was in a state of religious and political disorder, and the central government was severely weakened.

Henry rebuilt a devastated France with the help of his advisor, the Duke of Sully.

1593: Henry became Catholic (“Paris is worth a mass”).

54

Results of the War Without enough money to equip his troops

properly, Charles’ army soon lost the war to Scotland.» Charles was forced to pay large indemnities to

Scotland and had to call Parliament to again ask for money.

The “long parliament” gave him money in return for more power, but a divided parliament soon looked weak to Charles, and civil war broke out.

55

The Civil War (1649-1660)

Parliament was somewhat split on how much the king’s authority should be curbed.

Charles used this division to attempt to reassert his control.

The Civil War

Cavaliers were wealthy trading and land-owning classes who supported the king.
